I am an art historian and a photographer based in Kiel/Germany.

Scientific curiosity and artistic expression is the common thread that is driving all of my pursuits. The thirst for knowledge has taken me on a journey that explores a variety of topics whose scope reaches far beyond my initial fields of expertise and as a result enables a better understanding for the interconnectedness of things. It has led me to take pictures and manage Social Media for 2008 Olympic Champion Elena Dementieva, travel to a dozen countries, become an avid guitarist, a TEDx-Organizer, and a Ph.D-student.

My first hand experiences as a creator of visual media inform my research interests which focus on contemporary Hollywood cinema and allow me to communicate scientific topics in a vivid manner.

Fun facts: I can expertly drive forklifts, and I'm an admirer of the works of cinematographer Roger Deakins and composer Hans Zimmer.
